Everybody Ballet was founded by Isabel McMeekan, a former ballerina with The Royal Ballet. McMeekan has developed a set of classes that takes the best aspects of classical ballet and makes it accessible for everyone. Our classes are friendly, unintimidating, holistic and fun. Here at EB, you will learn the basic exercises, stretches and techniques of classical ballet. We can help you look better, feel better, and develop a greater awareness of this beautiful art form.
